Cavernous malformations (CM) occur very rarely in the ventricular system. We report a patient with a rare location in the third ventricle who had intermittent headaches as the initial symptom.
Summary. In a patient with malignant tumors of bone it is common to perform biopsy prior to surgery. There are a number of alternatives available for obtaining a specimen for pathological examination. We have introduced the technique of manual percutaneous discectomy (MPD), as a method for taking material for analysis. In a series of 13 symptomatic patients harbouring suspected spinal tumors the MPD was done and the accurate diagnosis was confirmed in all of them. Only three patients had a minor transient complication. This method enables us to obtain sufficient pathological material for analysis and has minimal morbidity and it could have priority over the other methods.
From the experiments presented by the authors the following conclusions could be got: 1. The microvascular arterial BY-PASS is a procedure, which has probably got a preventive significance, especially for cases with TRANSISTRORY ISCHEMIC ATTACK (TIA) and REVERSIBLE ISCHEMIC NEUROLOGICAL DEFICIT (RIND), as well as for the cerebrovascular insult with a mild and moderate neurological deficit. 2) All by itself, (the microvascular arterial by-pass) has got a very low mortality and morbidity, or better said, it carries with itself the risk as any other operation does. 3) The percentage of the preserved anastomoses is quite high. 4) Most probably persons with serious neurological deficit after a complete vascular insult, and persons with an acute vascular insult, will have no advantage of the arterial anastomosis.
